Even amidst all the other insane news, this stands out as a remarkable and even surprisingly bad leap forward. It’s not like I consented, like when people put trackers in their car for insurance discounts. I’m literally just going out into public, and that gives a company the right to record and analyze me and my car and report me to the police? I don’t even get the chance to sign up to opt-out, which even that would be fucked up? And of course the algorithms could be anything - going to gay bars, going to libraries, etc.

It really does feel like a lazy too-on-the-nose name from a sci-fi dystopia writer who REALLY wants to make sure you get the point that the company is evil. It just sounds creepy without even getting into the obvious connotations.
